Google Spreadsheets and Python
One of the good things to come out of Google Wave was a better understanding of how to scale using (eg) operational transform. Even without that, scaling a mostly read only spreadsheet backend isn't as hard as you are making out.

Well, a spreadsheet used as intended is mostly read-only, that's no necessarily true if it's backing a website :)

Based on the read-write characteristics of every website I've ever built I'd say "mostly read-only" is a pretty good characterization.
Even things like forums have many, many page loads than new posts.
